A Movie I Watched While I was Home In Bed, Sick.

Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa.  Sorry I haven't been posting, I've been sick.

People Will Talk

The play write bemoans
Through his character’s
Well stuffed mouth
How much better
Butter was
When we was young

Uses an academic
Peeling a knockwurst
Poking around for
More cabbage in the pot
To make his point

Wonder how he’d feel
About x-mas dinner

Haiku for Anjou

No longer a girl
She's becoming woman
right before our eyes

Len G.



 Haiku for Lenny

No longer a boy
Now an old man with a beard
but a very kind soul

Dream Vacation by John V.

If I had to choose a friend or a family member to come with me to a country it would be my friend Alex. We would go to Japan and have the best sushi ever. Also we would see Kei Nishikori play at one of the Japanese opens. Then to finish off our vacation we would go to the zoo and feed the elephants. Alex and I hailed a cab to the airport. Then we got on the plane and said good-bye to a lovely time in Japan.

Postcard from Lydia

    To: Lenny                                                                                                   

 Dear Lenny,
     On my trip to the moon my rocket ship must have taken a wrong turn because I  
       ended up on Mars. People think there is no life on Mars, but they are wrong I met
       them. They are green and have antennas. They are very nice and helpful so they
       Gave me a place to stay and helped me fix my rocket ship. When my rocket ship
       was fixed I had to say goodbye to them it was sad, but I couldn’t wait to go back to
       Earth to my house after my trip to Mars which was supposed to be to the moon,
                                                                                                                             From Lydia

Post card from Texas


What's up dog?


This is a photo of Sarah with her friends Peter and Hana.  They live in Gavelston, Texas.


This is a photo of Sarah with her friends Marta, Alberto, Richard, and Linda. This picture was taken at the summit of Mt. Bonnell.

These dogs were on the side of a building in New Orleans and I thought they'd make a nice cover for a postcard.



Voodo Queen of New Orleans


These pictures are of the burial vault of Marie Laveau, the Voodo Queen of New Orleans.  The tombs are known as "oven" vaults and are designed for above ground burials.  This is needed in New Orleans because the city is below sea level.  


The markings are made by people that believe in Voodo and are made as an offering to Marie Laveau in the hopes that she will hear their prayers and answer them.  It is against the law to mark "desecrate" burial sites.
